Just went on the CHB website to double check that my CHB will be getting paid tomorrow, as expected (completely cash strapped this month!!) and to my dismay it is coming up with a date in two week time!!Thats six weeks since the last payment...why???
Have looked back at the last four months payments and I haven't been paid early so why oh why is it going to be full two weeks late this month arghhh!!!

Seems like its not just me then. Last time they changed all th dates (was a few years back if I recall cofrectly) they wrote to everyone and gave few months notice, much fairer. Have also just remembered that I rwrote a check postdated for tomorrow which will now bounce, bring on the bank charges!!!!

which website is this?

5inthebed · 05/09/2011 20:41

So, if mine says mine is not due until w/c 3 October, should I assume mine is coming in tomorrow?

Northernlurkerr · 05/09/2011 20:42

Oh I see - found it. Well I've checked mine and it says the 19th - but it's in my bank account. System gone crazy I think.

TheGhostNotMe · 05/09/2011 20:45

Mine says w/c 19th September, which is when I'd worked it out (last payment was 23rd August) so fingers crossed. Mine goes in as the council tax comes out, so without it I would be slightly stuffed.

Might be stating the obvious but have you checked with your bank? I'm with HSBC and my CB showing that going in tomorrow.
Might just be website error-hopefully anyway.

TheFeministsWife · 05/09/2011 20:52

Jeez mine is due tomorrow, it's coming up as 3rd October though. Confused Bloody hope it goes in tomorrow or dd2 won't be having a 5th birthday. Sad

Imnotaslimjim · 05/09/2011 20:56

Mine and SIL both goes in tomorrow. She's with santander so can check what payments are pending for tomorrow and though that website says 19th, her payment is showing or tomorrow, so I think its just the website has ballsed up somewhere

5inthebed · 05/09/2011 20:58

I've called my bank, they aren;t able to tell me until it goes in Hmm. Not very helpful.

I'm hoping it goes in as I'll get bank charges for bounced SO otherwise.

Hope yours goes in TFW :(

TheFeministsWife · 05/09/2011 21:00

maxylou · 05/09/2011 21:03

Mine due w/c 12th and website showing due w/c 12th. Iv noticed that although its due on a monday it always shows up on the saturday!

5inthebed · 05/09/2011 21:03

Thats what Im thinking Talker.

Gah, hate not knowing!

youarekidding · 05/09/2011 21:13

I don't know DS CHB number Blush

Would seem though numbers are grouped as different numbers give different info.

Anyone here get theres weekly like me who can tell me if it's showing we'll get paid this week or not?

Cheers.

OP YANBU if they've changed it without warning that is shit.

Mines usually Tuesday, same as CTC/WTC. Hopefully it will all go in tomorrow as it should. I need WTC as have child care to pay, I have food in so could hold off CB for a week as long as I get TC payments as still have utilities to come out.

AryaStark · 05/09/2011 21:29

If you have online banking, look up the last CHB payment and the number should be listed.

Look on online banking, it tells you what it is, and you want digits 7 and 8.

youarekidding · 05/09/2011 21:40

Mine was about 10 digits long, started with a 6. I'll try again.

Thanks.

youarekidding · 05/09/2011 21:43

I tried the bank thing. Was a 12 digit number and when I entered digits 7&8 it said it was paid 4 weekly.

Ah well I'll see tomorrow and panic if TC and CB don't arrive.

What a cock up. I am going to pray that mine just suddenly appears in my bank.

Imnotaslimjim · 05/09/2011 22:34

ok I've just rechecked mine - hadn't thought to count the figures lol

It says next one us due w/c 3rd October, which makes sense because as far as they are concerned this week has been paid. Looks like everything is fine
